In a bid to establish Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) as a national political party, the top brass of the party have decided to establish contacts with dissident politicians across the county and invite them to join it following the forthcoming general elections, sources said here on Wednesday.
The party think tanks have started preparing bio datas of the dissident politicians, who were not satisfied with the policies of their own parties and they wanted to switch over. The sources said a formal invitation would be sent to the nonconformist politicians in all the four provinces to join MQM following the forthcoming elections.
In Punjab, the MQM has already established its offices across the province and would establish contacts with politicians, who have differences with Chaudhries and wanted change in the provincial set up.
In NWFP, they said the anti-MMA politicians would be contacted and it might nominate candidates with collaboration of any local party for the election. In Balochistan, the sources claimed the MQM might contact the nationalist parties to form an alliance.
In this regard, they said Altaf Hussain had directed Dr Farooq Sattar, deputy convenor of the party, to constitute a committee inside the party, which would complete the task before the coming election. They said the MQM was likely to announce its electoral alliance next month if the party leadership gave a green signal to local leadership. Dr Farooq Sattar met doctors, students, lawyers and sympathisers in Multan and other parts of Southern Punjab to establish his party.
